Many of the works of the Ancients have become fragments; many works of the Moderns are so in their inception.
- Friedrich Schlegel, Athenaeum, Fragment 24
Home is where one starts from. As we grow older
The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated
Of dead and living. Not the intense moment
Isolated with no before and after,
But a lifetime burning in every moment
